The best things in life are simple things… like someone serving you a cup of great coffee. “They’ve got the best coffee,” said Don Peavler, a long-time guest at Cherokee Casino Fort Gibson. Other than fishing, the casino is the primary form of entertainment for this avid fisherman. “I love the [Star Rewards] cards they have,” he said. “Usually I win just enough to keep me going, but I think I’ve gotten back everything I’ve put in.” No doubt Don enjoys card member perks, but it’s the personal attention that keeps him coming back. “The big casinos are so impersonal. Here, it’s like going home. Everyone is so kind. They know who we are and they go the extra mile and watch out for you. They really do! You can tell, they enjoy their jobs.”
